Alcohol-free universal cleaning and disinfectant wipes
Description
Azo™ Universal Cleaning and Disinfectant Wipes – 200 wipes (CE) are pre-impregnated, alcohol-free, one-step cleaning and disinfectant wipes for non-invasive medical devices and hard surfaces. Each tub contains 200 large 18 × 20 cm wipes, combining a powerful biocide and detergent system to clean and disinfect in a single action. The wipes are proven 99.9999% effective against pathogens and are validated to EN 16615, with additional compliance to EN 14476 (virucidal), EN 1276 (bactericidal) and EN 16615 (fungicidal). They are CE-marked as a medical device, ideal for use in cleanrooms, critical environments, and healthcare settings where rapid, effective decontamination of non-invasive medical devices and environmental surfaces is required.
Bnefits
- Active alcohol-free technology provides effective one-step cleaning and disinfection of hard surfaces and non-invasive medical devices.
- Proven 99.9999% effective against harmful pathogens, validated to European standard EN 16615 (4-field test).
- Effective bacterial action against MRSA, E. coli and a broad range of other microorganisms.
- Meets virucidal standard EN 14476, bactericidal standard EN 1276 and fungicidal standard EN 16615.
- Alcohol-free formulation reduces risks of skin irritation, material damage and fumes associated with alcohol products.
- Large 18 × 20 cm wipe size for efficient coverage of surfaces, reducing time and product consumption.
- Ideal for use in cleanrooms, critical environments, hospitals, dental and aesthetic clinics, laboratories and other healthcare facilities.
- CE-marked canister as a medical device and manufactured in the UK to ISO 13485 quality standards.
Indications
- Cleaning and disinfection of non-invasive medical devices in clinical environments.
- Environmental decontamination of hard, non-porous surfaces such as worktops, trolleys, couches, treatment chairs and equipment housings.
- Use in cleanrooms, critical environments, theatres, treatment rooms and laboratories where rapid, validated disinfection is required.
- Routine infection prevention and control in healthcare, dental, aesthetic and veterinary settings.
Composition
- Alcohol-free biocidal formulation (exact percentages proprietary), typically including:
- • Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) – polymeric biguanide biocide
- • Quaternary ammonium compounds (e.g. benzalkonium chloride, didecyldimethyl ammonium chloride (DDAC), chlorhexidine digluconate) – cationic surfactant biocides
- • Non-ionic / amphoteric surfactants – detergent/cleaning agents
- • Water (purified/deionised) – carrier
- • pH adjusters and stabilisers
- Non-woven wipe substrate (synthetic/cellulose blend)
- Contains poly(hexamethylenebiguanide) hydrochloride; may produce an allergic reaction (per SDS).
Formulation
- Pre-impregnated, alcohol-free disinfectant and detergent wipes.
- Non-woven, low-lint wipe material designed for medical and cleanroom use.
- Ready-to-use, no-rinse, one-step cleaning and disinfection formulation.
- Broad-spectrum activity (bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal, yeasticidal) when used as directed.
- Designed specifically for non-invasive medical device surfaces and hard, non-porous environmental surfaces.
Packaging
- Tub/canister containing 200 pre-impregnated wipes.
- Wipe size: 18 × 20 cm.
- Typically supplied as a case of 12 tubs (200 × 12 wipes) for professional use.
- Resealable flip-top lid to maintain wipe moisture and reduce evaporation.
- CE-marked canister labelling with product code (AM200WCE), batch number, expiry date and regulatory information.
Usage
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) according to local infection control procedures.
- Open the tub and withdraw a single wipe; close the lid immediately to prevent wipes drying out.
- Wipe the surface of the non-invasive medical device or hard, non-porous surface thoroughly, ensuring complete coverage so that the surface is visibly wetted.
- Allow the surface to remain wet for the required contact time (as per local policy and EN validation; typically up to 1 minute for full spectrum efficacy).
- Allow to air dry; do not rinse or wipe dry unless specifically required by device manufacturer guidance.
- Use a new wipe for each separate area or item to avoid cross-contamination.
- Do not use on skin, open wounds or invasive medical devices.
- Dispose of used wipes in accordance with local clinical or hazardous waste regulations; do not flush down toilets.
Contraindications
- Not for use on skin, open wounds or mucous membranes.
- Do not use on invasive medical devices or where manufacturers contraindicate the use of biguanide/QUAT-based disinfectants.
- Avoid use on surfaces or materials sensitive to cationic surfactants or disinfectants (e.g. some delicate coatings) unless compatibility has been confirmed.
- Contraindicated in users with known hypersensitivity to poly(hexamethylenebiguanide) hydrochloride (PHMB), chlorhexidine, quaternary ammonium compounds or other components.
- Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
Adverse Effects
- May cause serious eye irritation if liquid from the wipe contacts the eyes.
- Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dryness or irritation; PHMB and other biocides may provoke allergic contact dermatitis in sensitised individuals.
- Inhalation of vapours or aerosols from extensive use in poorly ventilated areas may cause mild respiratory irritation in susceptible persons.
- If allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling) or persistent irritation occur, discontinue use and seek medical advice.
Storage Conditions
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
- Keep the canister tightly closed when not in use to prevent wipes drying out.
- Do not freeze.
- Store in original packaging and avoid extreme temperatures.
- Keep out of the sight and reach of children.
- Dispose of empty canisters and unused wipes in accordance with local regulations.
Duration
Used as needed for routine and ad-hoc surface/device decontamination. Each application provides rapid disinfection during the specified contact time (often 30\u201360 seconds); frequency of use is determined by local cleaning schedules and infection control policies.
Onset
Fast acting; effective against many pathogens in as little as 30 seconds, with 99.9999% reduction of validated organisms within 1 minute when used as directed.
